Chapter 549: Chapter 549: Still Need to Hold a Commendation Meeting

Another week had passed, and with the surrender of the last medium-sized island, the small islands that had still been holding out finally could hold out no longer. Continuing their resistance meant they would be completely annihilated.

Even being eradicated as pirates, with some civilian casualties, was considered an acceptable loss.

After all, the military couldn’t possibly remain tied up here indefinitely; even if they were troops from the Territory, even if they were the Undead, such delays still consumed quite a bit of resources. After all, the ships themselves also suffered some wear and tear.

The entire Sea Alliance had been thoroughly occupied, and the previous system had been completely destroyed.

The new provisional system had already begun to be implemented, and these systems were all improvements based on those within Fang Jie’s Territory.

However, many aspects were certainly not suitable, and so they could only be modified in the implementation process. These matters, for the most part, were left to the future local Parliament to resolve.

"Indeed, an award ceremony is needed," Fang Jie said, looking at the report.

Even though he did not make a personal appearance, this ceremony could not be skipped. It was not only a matter of cohesion but also to let the people know who truly ruled them, to whom they owed their allegiance.

As the Cabinet Prime Minister and the Lord’s wife recognized by all, Qin Lan was the unquestioned choice for this task.

The meeting place for the ceremony was set on Quisha Island.

Representatives from each island had come here, mostly the leaders of the Big Islands. After all, transferring through various Material Warehouses wasn’t troublesome, and it was swift.

And in terms of security, with Quisha Island’s protection, no one believed there would be any issues.

If they couldn’t protect them even here, it meant either the enemy was too powerful, or the Lord intended to kill them.

And whichever scenario it was, they wouldn’t be safe even on their own islands.

Except for a few individuals, everyone else had arrived here. A gathering of many high-ranking officials let everyone know just how many there were in the entire Territory’s government and also gave everyone a clear idea of their own status.

"If all the people here were wiped out in one go, my Territory would truly descend into chaos."

Fang Jie smiled and turned his attention to the group of Undead Heroes on the screen.

Indeed, a significant portion of the proxy lords were these Undead Heroes. Fang Jie planned to use these positions to hone them, laying a solid foundation for their future advancement.

After all, these Undead didn’t concern themselves with their treatment; they were, after all, Undead.

Even if someone were to directly take over their position later, they wouldn’t begrudge it.

The ceremony was merely a formality, yet each time the names and regions of those rewarded were called out, many were thrilled beyond measure. Since most of them came from humble beginnings, this gain was far beyond their imagination.

However, while the ceremony was in progress, unexpected guests arrived.

"Report, the envoy delegations from the Beastman Empire and the Black Flame Empire have arrived, congratulating us on the formation of our Sea Empire."

The Sea Empire? Qin Lan narrowed her eyes; this was a mockery. Clearly, their foundation was on the Southern mainland, yet they insisted on saying "Sea." How could the envoys of an Empire make such a mistake?

Moreover, they hadn’t formed a state, let alone an Empire—a Kingdom hadn’t even been established.

Externally, they still declared themselves a Territory, and that’s what they were referred to in terms of position and title. Although in structure, they could already be considered a mature national system, it was another matter in name.

Their saying so directly was an expression of their dissatisfaction.

After all, the Sea Alliance had been indirectly controlled by both Empires.

Originally, although they didn’t exert direct control, they had significant influence here. And through the Sea Alliance, both Empires benefited greatly, but now all of that was gone.

"Let them in, but also tell them, we are merely a Territory," Qin Lan said directly, and although the envoys from the two Empires were dissatisfied, they couldn’t say much.

After all, the policies of including or pressuring them were ones they had passed themselves, with the signed conditions clearly written in black and white.

Now that they hadn’t made any mistakes, the two Empires couldn’t take action openly against them.

Of course, coming up with an excuse to attack them was not out of the question. The issue now was that the Black Flame Empire had few people and was restrained by the Demons; they could not possibly initiate trouble.

As for the Beastman side, they could, but there was Jade Island in the way.

During this period, the Beastman Empire conducted very meticulous reconnaissance of Jade Island, aware that it harbored a large number of Plague soldiers.

Once these spread, even an Empire like the Beastman would not be spared suffering. Therefore, the Beastman Empire, for the time being, dared not act rashly, and attending this meeting was something they had to do.

Before long, the representatives of the two Empires arrived. They were two old acquaintances, Emily and Darby.

Yet the ensembles of these two brought with them more than a dozen Legendary Level powerhouses, obviously here to exert pressure.

But at the scene, Fang Jie had left fifty Legendary Level powerhouses. As these new arrivals sensed the air being Locking onto them, they felt somewhat reluctant to act rashly.

However, they represented Empires and naturally carried their own pride.

Even if locked by more enemies, they did not back down, and tension filled the air like drawn swords and cocked crossbows.

"The two Envoys have come to attend our award ceremony, haven’t you?" Qin Lan spoke.

"Of course, we also want to see what makes the person who has managed to do such things under our noses different," Darby said nonchalantly.

Emily seemed thoughtful, "You are the Prime Minister, the apparent leader, and also the Lord’s wife, right? So, the one we met last time, that’s your real leader. I didn’t expect it to actually be a Human."

This information was no secret to many.

However, most people from the Sea Alliance were entirely unaware. Having Emily proclaim it openly still came as a bit of a shock. They had thought perhaps the Lord was some special Undead or perhaps an Elf.

As for a Human, humans were far too weak, with lives far too short-lived.

Even if it had been mentioned before, the people of the Sea Alliance simply didn’t believe it. Weakness was synonymous with humans; while they were strong as a whole, individually they still seemed weak.

"Since you’ve come to participate in the award ceremony, please take a seat," Qin Lan said.

Inside, Qin Lan was uneasy; it seemed these people had come for more than just to observe. Hopefully, no troublesome events would unfold. If she were captured, how to proceed next? Qin Lan swiftly contemplated the possibilities.
